Former Vice President Dick Cheney has published an unapologetic paean to his war crimes, torture and tortured reasoning in a memoir which he calls; In My Time. Needless to say, some find Mr. Cheney’s alleged memoir a work of fiction and suitable “for supermarket tabloids” and “full of cheap shots.” [1] The book will be out August 30, 2011.
Mr. Cheney and his attack-dog daughter, Liz, have launched another campaign to clean up Mr. Cheney’s image [2] but, Mr. Cheney remains one of the most unpopular politicians in American history with an approval rating going towards the single digits.
In Mr. Cheney’s book he highlights how he counseled bombing Syria [3] to “restore America’s standing among the Arabs.” Apparently, Mr. Cheney’s plans also included the possibilities of nuking Iraq, Iran and Syria [4] to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons to those countries.
I wonder if Mr. Cheney’s memoir mentions the secret CIA assassination squads [5] which he set up and then ordered the CIA to not disclose to Congress [6] as required by law or his advocacy of the illegal use of US troops against US citizens on US soil?
Apparently, Mr. Cheney still disagrees with the legal authorities of some of our WW II allies and the Code of Military Conduct that water boarding, known in WWII by the Gestapo as the “Paris technique” is illegal and torture outlawed by US and international law. See here [7], here [8], here [9], here [10], here [11]and here [12].
Truly, I don’t know how Dick Cheney can live with himself. [13] Please don’t buy Cheney’s book, the pages are soaked in blood.
